About Scrying Tools for Divination

What is Scrying Divination? There is plenty to learn about scrying. The art of psychic scrying is rooted in antiquity. Not only is it little-known, scrying is one the more difficult divination techniques.

Anybody can study a book and grasp the Tarot or Runes, but to successfully scry commands a familiarity with symbolism and a capability of interpreting the symbols correctly.

You will need to devote copious amounts of time to this practice. So, if you are convinced you have no extrasensory perception, the study of scrying may prove to be a waste of time.

It is certainly an exercise in patience. If you’re not willing or don’t enjoy gazing at a scrying tool for hours, possibly without results, learning about scrying is probably not for you.
